LazyMeow requests system permissions following the principle of minimum necessity, and only asks for authorization when you actively use the related feature. This page explains the purpose, timing, and impact of declining each permission.
Permission List
| Permission | Purpose | When Requested | If Declined |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camera | Scan product barcodes, take photos for item recognition or receipts | First use of scanning, photo, or receipt features | Cannot scan or take photos; manual entry or library selection still works |
| Photo Library | Select item images, checklist images, receipts, or payment screenshots | First time you pick a photo from the library | Cannot pick library photos; camera and manual entry still work |
| Microphone | Voice input for items, bookkeeping, and AI chat | First use of voice input | Cannot use voice input; keyboard input still works |
| Speech Recognition | Convert speech to text for input and AI chat | First use of voice input | Cannot convert speech to text; keyboard input still works |
| Notifications | Near-expiry reminders, expiry alerts, expired-item summaries, checklist reminders, recognition results | First time you enable reminders or related notifications | No push notifications; related information remains viewable in-app |
| Network | Account login, cloud sync, shared-space collaboration, AI features, credits and membership, troubleshooting | When online features are used | Offline mode works normally; online features are unavailable |
Our Commitments
- No forced authorization: declining a permission never blocks unrelated features
- No background abuse: sensitive permissions are never invoked without authorization
- Revocable anytime: you can turn off granted permissions in system settings at any time
- No scope creep: permissions are used only for the purposes above, never for ad tracking, user profiling, or other purposes
Shortcuts and Screenshot Bookkeeping
Screenshot bookkeeping is triggered by you through iOS Shortcuts or other explicit actions; the app does not read your notifications or photo library in the background. You can view, edit, or delete the related automation in the system Shortcuts app; disabling it does not affect manual bookkeeping.
